It's like a mix of pop punk and "slacker" indie rock.

You guys have a point. "Obsess" probably isn't the right word. I just meant bands you're really into at the moment.

They're a bluesy rock band from Upstate NY. I'm seeing them in August, opening for two bands that sound nothing like them, one of which is Daisy Grenade. The other is my second favorite band, Young Culture.

In the past week: Ben Folds - What Matters Most What Makes Sense - Fear And Loathing In The Northeast (EP) Keep Flying - Follow Your Nightmares (EP) Keep Flying - Walkabout (EP) Keep Flying - Unbreakable (EP) Keep Flying - Survival Keep Flying - Revival (EP) Motion City Soundtrack - I Am The Movie (Vinyl)

A month or two ago, literally every tour date they had lined up sold out very quickly. They're absolutely blowing up.

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever (Vinyl)

I found a first pressing of Fables Of The Reconstruction by R.E.M. today at a local record store. I also recently ordered I Am The Movie by Motion City Soundtrack on Epitaph Records' website. It's white with tangerine and black splatter. I couldn't insert the image, so here's the link if you want to see it. https://epitaph.store/product/23433/i-am-the-movie-lp-whitetangerineblack

Friday - Monday: WSTR - 'Til The Wheels Fall Off Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls

The Attack Attack show was incredible. Besides the Millington show, I have two other shows coming up. The Offspring, Sum 41, and Simple Plan at Darien Lake Ben Folds (solo) at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY

They've gotten some decent opening slots for bigger bands in the past year and a half, but they're not huge yet. I'm hoping they'll get put on some bigger tours, and hopefully sign to a bigger label soon. I discovered them in December 2021. My favorite band is State Champs, who are one of the bigger US pop punk bands right now. I was getting ready for their annual hometown holiday show. One of the openers had to drop out due to covid, and Pollyanna filled in. I was obsessed immediately.

Awesome, I'm glad you like it! It was definitely one of my favorites from last year.

The Used - Toxic Positivity Every Avenue - Shh. Just Go With It (Deluxe) 5ever - Forever (EP) Pollyanna - Slime (Vinyl) Boston - Don't Look Back (Vinyl) Every Avenue - Picture Perfect Every Avenue - Bad Habits The Starting Line - With Hopes Of Starting Over (EP) EP, I feel like you might like Pollyanna. Segue might as well

They're incredible! I'm so glad they're getting the attention they deserve.

Must be my new record.

I loved Gag Order. Kesha really outdid herself here.
